                      HON. MICHAEL G. FITZPATRICK

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 24, 2013

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, with sadness, we acknowledge the 
passing of Stephen Frederick, a talented music teacher and mentor who 
spent 29 of his 35 years in education in the North Penn School District 
as high school band director and principal of North Penn Junior High 
School and North Penn High School. Earlier, he was an elementary music 
teacher in the Central Bucks School District, Bucks County, 
Pennsylvania. His career also included conducting the Montgomery County 
Concert Band. Although he retired as a high school principal from the 
North Penn School District, he later was welcomed back as a consultant. 
A husband, father and grandfather, Mr. Frederick had a rapport with 
students who recall his advice, and interest in their future: Never 
accept less than your own best effort--and often times the work is more 
important than the destination. Stephen Frederick leaves a personal 
legacy of achievement, his guidance and grace, and the example he set 
for others to follow.
